Title: 2010 Britannia
Post by: walmann on December 01, 2009, 09:31:03 AM: Nice to see a new design and not a recycled one on the 2010 Britannia. Now available from the Royal Mint.

I love this series which is both relatively short and affordable in the silver issues.

I like to order these once available on the ghoulish outside chance the Queen passes, especially before year's end. This would mean, I believe, very limited numbers of Britannia's with her portrait on the obverse for the latest releases.

Your avatar is visible once more.

Post by: coinsarefun on January 26, 2010, 11:20:15 AM: I ordered these long ago. Do they email a confirmation?
How long does it take to arrive?

Does it arrive by boat and then placed upon a Pony Express delivery person?
Are they waiting for the Pony Express horsemen or is in still on the Titanic?

Because if that's the case I may not ever receive my silver bullion and it may become yet
another shipwreck casualty :(

Normally the Royal Mint is very quick, however the sales of this Britannia outpaced the initial mintage and the subsequent orders of early December did not get filled by production till mid January.

You should have your order by the end of this month.

Post by: FilthyBroke on January 31, 2010, 05:07:59 PM: Has anyone recieved one of these yet? I'm curious to see what they really look like, the pictures I've seen so far just don't look right to me for some reason. Please post a picture if you have it in-hand. Thanks! :)

Post by: walmann on February 02, 2010, 12:46:01 PM: I received my order of the uncirculated strikes, proofs are not yet offered for sale. The finish does not have the same appearance as in the Royal Mint's photo, it finish is similar to that found on the devices of a reverse proof, the fields do not have any mirror/reflective quality.

The pace of life at home does not leave me with sufficent time to take photos, the photo below though is the one that I could find on the web that is the best representation of what these look like in hand.
